this is more of a light hearted comment, but what happened to the ducks?

and how did all those hideously complicated ecosystems set themselves up again so quickly? I mean, look at the rainforests, there is some seriously specific stuff happening there. hummingbirds and insects that can only feed from one type of plant and so on.....

Can of worms open you young Jedi.

These are just a few of many questions that lead either to an answer that contradicts a global flood, or suggests divine intervention/magic as a last resort (and an easy cop-out)

Here's a good place to find many of these questions (and find answers also):

Genesis 6:20
"Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind shall come to you to keep them alive.

Science has shown with the fruit fly that you can change their diet in a five year period of time. So I would think 3000 years would be enough.

Fruit flies generations are measured in weeks, not years or decades as is the case with many vertebrates (which is exactly why they are used for genetics studies as opposed to say tortoises or elephants).

I am always amused by YECs who invent some kind of hyper-rapid-evolution idea to explain away the questions of what happened after the Flood. THIS from the same people who cannot accept that chimps and humans share a common ancestor.
